The Christian Church (Disciples of
Christ) emerged as the consequence of an early 19th century religious movement
on the American frontier. It sought to promote Christian unity among
churches which were torn and divided by controversies over creeds, disciplines,
ecclesiastical power and organization, and by the sectarian spirit of the times.

As "People of the Book," we
Disciples
accept the authority of the Scripture as divinely inspired and normative for
matters of faith and practice in the church.

Disciples of Christ believe we have
"no creed but Christ." The only confession of belief which is required of
those who desire membership is an affirmative answer to the question, "Do you
believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and do you accept
Him as Savior and Lord of your life?"

Upon one's confession of Jesus Christ
as Savior and Lord, a believer is baptized by immersion. Disciples of
Christ believe that baptism is an outward sign of an inward commitment to bury
the "old life" and enter into a new life in Christ.

We believe the Lord's Supper
(communion) is at the heart of our worship and therefore celebrated each Sunday.
Not only do we remember the life and death of Christ through sharing of the
bread and cup, but we also give thanks for His living presence with us.
Communion is open to all believers regardless of membership or church
affiliation.

Affirming the "priesthood of all
believers," we believe that all are called to minister. The Holy Spirit
bestows gifts upon God's people in order to equip the body of Christ, the
Church, for ministry and witness.
